Controls on taxis at Fiumicino.

From 17 June new rules apply for taxis at Fiumicino airport. The road for taxis waiting to pick up passengers will be narrowed to prevent illegal taxis jumping the queue. City police will control taxis waiting for passengers and any found there illegally will have their licences removed. Finally, and perhaps most unpopular with taxi drivers, it will be possible for arriving passengers to buy a voucher in the airport building to pay the fare to their destination in Rome. In theory this should make it more difficult for the passenger to be charged an unreasonable amount.
